Thank you so much for playing it and for your critique! Feedback is very important to me.
Putting myself in the shoes of the player/reader, I believe I can understand what you described.
I tried to make the two characters believable, but I also gave myself full creative freedom to make them way more intense than what you would expect for socially acceptable behavior.
Kien is a Yandere character. Sallie seems to be a person who avoids conflict (exactly as you described), but who experiences a great deception by someone she trusted and was developing a crush on. Her unexpected reaction to the truth is part of something that we also didn't know about her - she also has a dark side.
I'm sorry if you didn't like the ending. I know cliffhangers can be frustrating... I used to hate them when I was younger, until I found the charm in how they made me think of so many theories! lol
I'm very glad you decided to play the game - even though it's a kinectic vn - and enjoyed it :')
I can totally understand your feelings. Even if I was the one writing it, I also found myself feeling frustrated about what happens. I got so attached to his character that I almost didn't want this "innocence" to be broken... lol
About your questions:
- The color palettes for both of their designs (actually for the whole game's aesthetic) were intentionally more on the darker side. I tried some other colors, but I just loved these shades of blue hair/brown eyes and green hair/pink eyes for them. In the beginning, Sallie was going to have a more vivid blue hair, along with a short haircut, but I was happier with the style she has now. Kien didn't change anything about his appearance to match hers.
- Everything he told her about himself was true.
- He enjoys different art pieces and is very good at playing cards. The frame symbolizes luck and strategy.
- I don't think so, to be honest. I wanted to keep the story short and I think it will stay that way. Unless I get a great idea in the future that makes me very sure about doing a continuation, the story ends here.
Thanks again for taking the time to write your comment and for playing! :D
You've done an excellent job with the art, writing, story and pacing. The narrative is very interesting and Mychael is a very well constructed character. His personality is charming and makes you wanna see how he will react based on the path the story takes.
Thank you so much for playing and for the beautiful feedback. I had a lot of trouble drawing these backgrounds (as I'm more used to draw characters) but i wanted to make them nice for the game ♡
And you have my blessing to fight him 😂 he deserves it hahaha
How cool to know that this was your first visual novel! I'm happy you enjoyed the game and even recorded a video about it. I will watch it as soon as I can! :)
Thank you very much for playing and good luck with your YT Channel!
